Youth Mass for Life
January 24, 2025 | Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle
- Youth from The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington are invited to participate in a Youth Mass for Life at the Cathedral of Saint Matthew the Apostle in Washington on January 24, 2025.
  
  Please join our local schools, youth ministries, and many other young people of the Archdiocese to worship together in celebration and thanksgiving for life.
  This event is open to all and does not require a registration, but the Catholic Youth Organization encourages ADW parishes, schools and groups let us know you are coming and to arrive early as we anticipate that several outside groups coming to town for the March for Life may choose to join in our event.
  Click Here to RSVP
  For those who are not from our Archdiocese and will be coming to join the March for Life at the National Mall, we extend our gratitude for your commitment to the dignity of life. If you are looking for other opportunities many of our local parishes will be celebrating Masses throughout the day and we advise you to contact them to find out schedules and other necessary information for your participation.
  Additionally, the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception will hold their National Prayer Vigil for Life 2025 and all are welcome to participate.
